- In this movie, we're going to reviewa bit about the versioning issues in this course.First, a bit of housekeeping.The vast majority of this course was recordedusing the June 2014 version of Adobe Premiere Pro.So, for 95 percent of the movies in this course,you'll see that version of the software displayed.The June 2014 interface looks like this.However, in October 2014, Adobe released a new update.The interface for that version of the softwarelooks like this.So, before and after.

You'll only see the interface looking like thisin about 5 percent of the movies in this course,because while the interfaceis the most obvious thing that's changed,there were also some exciting updatesin organization, structure, editing, and effects.So, I wanted to be sure to record new moviesto cover those features.So, which movies are those?There are two what's new movies in the introduction,summarizing all of the applicable changeswithin the context of this essential training,and then I break out those changesin two movies in chapter six and two movies in chapter 10.

The rest of the course was recordedin the June 2014 version.Now, we need to talk about exercise files.There are two exercise filesdownload options for this course,one for the version released in June 2014and another for the version released in October 2014.We covered this in the using the exercise files movie,but I just wanted to reiterate this.If you don't know already,you just need to figure out which versionof Premiere Pro you're running.Again, probably the most immediate wayis to just look at your interface.If it looks like this, October or later.

If it looks like this, it's from June.Okay?And you can also start up any projectand go to the Premiere Pro menu, if you're on a Mac,and choose about Premiere Pro,or if you're on a PC, just go to the help menuand choose about Premiere Pro.If this number right here says 2014.1,then you have the October version.If it says 2014 or 2014.01,then you're running the prior version.Now, if you'd like to upgrade your softwareto take advantage of the most up-to-date features,you absolutely can,as long as you have an active subscription.

If you have the Creative Cloud desktop installed,which I would absolutely recommend,it's a great way to keep tabson all of your Creative Cloud apps,you can just upgrade straight from here,or you can go to Adobe's website,log into your Creative Cloud account,and access the downloads from there.Okay, now that you hopefully have a senseof how this course is structured,let's take a look at a couple of what's new moviesthat will show you some of the exciting updatesin the October 2014.1 version of Premiere Pro.

Q: This course was updated on 10/10/2014. What changed?

A: We added tutorials to cover the most recent changes to Premiere Pro CC. The "What's new" movies provide an overview of the UI and effects changes, and the four movies indicated by the "(CC 2014.1)" tag give you a deeper dive into these features. Additionally, the "Using the Exercise Files" and "What version of Premiere Pro CC does this course cover?" movies will help you become fully acquainted with how this course is structured.

Q: How do I open the exercise files in Premiere Pro? I can't open any of the files in the Hot Glass or Creative Letterpress folders.

A: You have to open the project file
(the .prproj). You will see the rest of the exercise file structure when
you open the project in Premiere Pro. (The only folders you see at the operating system
level—through the Finder or Windows Explorer—are the media folders, which the project file links to.)

You can double-click on the Hot Glass project file to load the project in Premiere Pro. Once that project opens, you will find the rest of the exercise files.

Double-click on the Creative Letterpress project file to load the second
project.

Q: After loading a project from the exercise files for this course, the media appears "offline" and cannot be used. How do I fix this?

A: This issue occurs because the project was not created
in your copy of Premiere Pro, so your copy does not know where
to look for the asset files. To fix this, please see the video
"Relinking offline media."

Q: Premiere Pro keeps saying,
"Project contains a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview
preset or codec could be associated with this sequence type." What do I
do?
